an interesting viewpoint from allen hillery about one of vignelli’s most important legacies; the nyc transit signage system and the design of the nyc subway diagram:
how vignelli’s design still influences nyc’s subway maps today . . .

a film by gary hustwit, about a developing digital version of the nyc transit’s current map, which inherits massimo vignelli’s design from 1972: the map . . .

the metropolitan transit authority’s own link to its live subway map:
